All
• Read and plot coordinates in the first quadrant (Y5)
• Use coordinates in the first quadrant to draw, locate and complete shapes that meet given properties (Y6)

Most

• Make accurate mathematical graphs on paper and on screen
• Express simple functions in words, then using symbols; represent them in mappings
• Generate coordinate pairs that satisfy a simple linear rule; plot the graphs of simple linear functions, where y is given explicitly in terms of x, on paper and using ICT; recognise straight-line graphs parallel to the x-axis or y-axis
• Plot and interpret the graphs of simple linear functions arising from real-life situations, e.g. conversion graphs
Some
• Express simple functions algebraically and represent them in mappings or on a spreadsheet
• Generate points in all four quadrants and plot the graphs of linear functions, where y is given explicitly in terms of x, on paper and using ICT; recognise that equations of the form y = mx + c correspond to straight-line graphs
• Construct linear functions arising from real-life problems and plot their corresponding graphs; discuss and interpret graphs arising from real situations, e.g. distance–time graphs
